Any thoughts? I orginally had Sol Sixxa instead of Nym, but I realized with a few adjustments, I could upgrade to Nym pretty easily. The EM gives me a one-time genius use, which isn't that bad for a 0 point droid. I just had to take Cad Bane off which may make Jostero less effecive.... At 99, should I go ahead and give Nym Deadeye as well?

Autoblaster Nym not appealing? Even without Genius it's still really good. I feel like vectored is a bit of a waste on single action PS5.

It's nice having the ability to reposition, especially when closing in or finishing off a ship. But yeah it's not the greatest action for a PS5. Highly situational. At least it's only one point.

I like the Autoblaster/Accuracy Correcter combo, but without Long-Range Scanners, I'm looking for FCS to help me with the missiles unless I go Deadeye on Nym.

The problem with Autoblaster I see is that given the Bomblet Generator ships are going to try and keep their distance from Nym, so I need to protect him at Range 2. Might be over-thinking that part though.

Thanks for the insight, though. I may play around with those adjustments.

There's also Jesper Hills Nym 2x BSA list over on Phil GC's blog, here's a link, it's about halfway down

Thanks for sharing. Yeah, that's pretty freaking great. I may use that for Nym and keep Jostero to use with Sixxa.

I love Jostero, I really think he should stick around! While it's a little more pricey, I love putting Expertise on him, to really capitalize on his ability.

I agree that VT isn't necessarily vital, but it can be useful even on low PS pilots.

However, I think the Nym build should really focus on bombing effectively to trigger Jostero regularly. VI, ABT, Bomblets, Adv. Sensors, EU, is the classic squirelly Nym who can almost always pin people with a bomb.

If you don't want to go bombing, considering this list can't fit Cad Bane, I might use either a third BSA or a Harpooning (but not bombing) Nym.

After some playtesting, Nym feels like he needs an action bomb to make Jostero work.
